 Note that pin 1 is a square pad on the board. Also, this is the way the header looks when viewed from the *top* of the board (i.e. when the microcontroller is visible). [Here's a picture of what it looks like](https://i.imgur.com/nh6e5tQ.jpg) **TODO fix this**.
 
+**HOWEVER.** On the Ploopy Nano PCB, the microcontroller actually covers these holes. You'll have to flip the PCB upside-down in order to access the ICSP header. Obviously, if it's upside-down, the header is backwards. So, really, the numbers are like this:

+Got that?

 Hook up the ICSP connector on the Ploopy PCB to the programmer. If you're using an Arduino Nano, make the following connections:
